Two days to go

Dr. V called this morning, all systems are a go for the surgery Wednesday. So now we wait. He did not get the results from the second biopsy back yet, but because the CA 19-9 test came back so high he's sure it's cancerous. So it has to come out. Burt started a clear liquid diet today. Tomorrow we go to the hospital to get his blood typed so they have some on hand for the surgery. We are ready for Wednesday.






Yesterday was a good day. My Dad made a sign for the front yard of our church and yesterday was the dedication. Family came from everywhere and I am so proud of my Dad! He did a great job building the sign and it is a wonderful memorial to his parents and two sisters.

Then after lunch Dani and the girls in Anna's wedding surprised her with a bridal shower! They had been planning this for several months now, and did not want to postpone it. We just moved it from the house to the firehouse, so Burt would not come into contact with anyone, just in case someone was sick. AND we managed to keep it a complete surprise!!


A good time was had by all, and Anna and Jeff are thankful for all the love they received today. We are so looking forward to this wedding August 1st!

Glad the shower went well.....I didn't know it was a surprise...feel like an idiot sending the present to the house.....oh well, she didn't guess!

Your Dad did a wonderful job on the sign. What a crew!

Burt, hang in there! Wednesday is the start of a long crawl up a big hill! You can do it!I heard somewhere that you are stubborn? - Conni
